Github has a feature called pull requests that an Apache Flex Git repo does not.
https://help.github.com/articles/using-pull-requests
It's essentially a code review process layer on top of git.
It allows us to fork Apache Flex… make modifications then send a pull request to the main
apache repo.
That pull request also creates a .patch file that can be attached to a JIRA ticket or applied
to a local writable Apache Flex Git repo via git-am.
